OK, so in the absence of any clues I'd say Forde, Coleman, Dunne, O'Shea are the most likely to keep their places.
What type of team will they prefer? Traditional 442, the currently popular 4231 or a very bold 352?
SSL and Clark have something to play for, so to speak.
Gibson should be a shoo-in when he returns.
Will they see Wilson as left back or defensive midfield?
Will Keane retain the captaincy and even his starting place?
Will McCarthy benefit from Keane's presence?
Will the door open more for Meyler? At Whelan's expense?
Room for Hendrick?
Will this appointment inspire or scare off Stephen Ireland?!
Which of the following attacking players will they find room for - and how? McClean, McGeady, Brady, Ireland, Walters, Reid, Hoolahan, Long, Doyle, Stokes, Keane…
So many variables...
I have hope and and there is definitely a buzz about the Irish team again. If it all ends in tears then so be it but it will be fun whilst it lasts.
Good time for Steven Ireland to come back, he wont be the main story :)
Stephen probably views that as a negative.
Pardon...Quote:

They could even have been and gone by then.
Shame Keane never had any Grandma's back in the day really, Stephen Ireland was always a bit more creative in his excusesQuote:

Should be a clean slate for everyone.Keano will fallout with enough players without carrying over other peoples fights!!! A lot of crap has gone on with Irish football in the last 13 years(if you believe Delaneys maths). No point in dwelling on it.... If Steven Ireland scores a late winner in the final game to qualify us for the Euros there wont be anyone refusing to celebrate.
Possibly apart from Stephen Ireland.Quote:

And in a more serious interview Giles reckons O'Neill will take stock of the players and figure out how best to use them rather than going in with a predetermined idea of shape etc.
full interview between Delaney and Pat Kenny on newstalk.ie: http://www.newstalk.ie/FAI-confirms-...ne-appointment
I know it's pretty much common knowledge but both Keane and O'Neill are providing the analysis on ITV tonight for Sociedad v Man Utd. Might be worth tuning in for the first five minutes. Coverage begins at 19:30.
Thankfully that immature twit Ian Wright won't be alongside them this time.
Can the thread title be changed for the love of all that is holy?
Too late, Bonnie.
Tricky has, erm, spoken!

Delaney may have fooked up with Stan but we cannot complain with Traps appointment and then MON. I say fair play to him. He is not my favourite person but I think he is doing a good job.
As for players like Reid and Houlahan, think about it...do they actually deserve to be in our first 11?? Really?? Maybe in a certain system but they are not nailed on starters and you would be mad to think they are. The notion that they are our savours stems from one person....Eamon Dunphy!! They should be in our squad but they have got a lot to prove.
People are second guessing the dynamics of the MON/Keane role based on the media, so lets stop assuming and let them get on with it. I bet what goes on in the squad/camp is very different from what the media portrays.
We have an good but slightly average team that need our full support and a Manager to get the best out of them, that man is MON. Congrats to MON, fair play Keane for taking as step back to go forward and fair play Delaney. COYBIG
It's a bit late for that, the contracts are as good as signed.Quote:

The Score.ie took a look at players who have encountered O'Neill and Keane; http://thescore.thejournal.ie/13-iri...60380-Nov2013/
A few of them will be very worried. I wonder will Keane still be be keen to sleep outside Stephen Ireland's front door?

Fair enough. Next time leave to the board professionals, mind...Quote:

Done Deal.
Signed and sealed. Football Association of Ireland (Official) can confirm that both contracts have been signed, and Martin O'Neill & Roy Keane will be Ireland's new Manager & Assistant Manager
Yeap on the radio earlier...
Slow with the news today.
Just saw roy and martin asked bout the ireland job on itv . Both said they were delighted and looking forward to it. Nothing more than that apart from Adrian Chiles yet again showing that humour isnt his strong point.
The generous minute and ten seconds set aside by ITV to discuss the new venture:Quote:

Aye, I noticed two variations of the same "quote", so both can't be right. Indeed, both could be wrong in that case.
Quote:
"Mick, you're a liar... you're a ******* ******. I didn't rate you as a player, I don't rate you as a manager, and I don't rate you as a person. You're a ******* ****** and you can stick your World Cup up your ****. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are the manager of my country! You can stick it up your ********." It's fair to say the slanging match which ensued with Mick McCarthy put paid to any chance of a reconciliation.
"Who do you think you are having meetings about me? You were a crap player and you are a crap manager. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are the manager of my country and you're not even Irish you English ****!" Even flies were afraid to be in that particular room.
Killer on Radio 5 shortly to discuss the appointments.Quote:

I'm a proud Irishman. I live and work in England. England has given me a good lifestyle. My wife is English and my kids are half-English.
And I wear a poppy. I see no reason whatsoever why Roy and Martin shouldn't wear one either.
No I'd fully expect them to wear them, after all they are presenting for a UK TV channel, indeed I had they refused to wear oneQuote:

Not sure if they will continue with that I'd expect they would easilly fit it round the Ireland job.
Well I remember it being worn to 'support our boys in Northern Ireland'.Quote:

I don't agree with those wars.
Were it still to represent what it was originally intended for, WW1, I would have no problem. But for me I see it now as a propaganda symbol.
It was once worn on the 11th November, now it's like Christmas. It appears before Hallowe'en and seems to go on forever.
